“After the start of the Ukrainian war, the situation … was complicated, it is not the same as it was in 2020. The fact that Russia is currently involved in the field of Karabakh problems is a political and diplomatic instrument. These tools are not enough.” So said political analyst Alexander Iskandaryan, commenting on the latest events in the region, his words are given by the Armenian media.
According to the Armenian expert, “Russia is in a difficult situation, Russia is very strongly needed by Turkey and Azerbaijan. There are serious problems and discontent of the Armenian side by what Russia does not do, and it is natural.”
Iskandaryan notes that “the problems have always been. It cannot be said that Armenia in interaction with the CSTO did not have problems with the presidency of Serge Sargsyan. There were all the time. The statement that the relations of Serge Sargsyan and Vladimir Putin were excellent, were excellent, This is a myth. There were problems, there were very many of them, but they were solved in another way. And now, due to the nature of the current government, we see that this is splashing out on the open broadcast … “.
Note that on the eve of the Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan stated at a press conference that in Armenia they consider it inappropriate to conduct CSTO exercises on their territory this year.
